For dual­band operation, it can be done by loading two pair of slits in the equilateral­triangular patch, one embeded close to the side edges of the patch and the other inserted at the bottom edge of the patch. The frequency ratio of the two operating frequencies can be tuned by varing the positions and lengths of the inserted slots at the bottom edge of the patch. While the calculated frequency ratio of the antenna by Ensemble 5.0 is $1.66 ({f_10}=1.928GHz, {f_20}=3.2GHz)$, the measured one is 2.04 $({f_10}=1.6806 GHz, {f_20}=3.435 GHz)$. The error in the frequency ratio is due on the fabrication dimension and feeding position error as well as on the permittivity dispersion effect.

In this paper, stochastic optimization algorithms of PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and APSO (Adaptive Particle Swam Optimization) are studied and compared. It is revealed that the APSO provides faster convergence and better search efficiency than the conventional PSO when they are adopted to find the global minimum of a two-dimensional function. The advantages of the APSO comes from the ability to control the inertia weight, and acceleration coefficients. To verify that the APSO is working better than the standard PSO, the design of a 10GHz microstrip patch as one of the elements of a high frequency array antenna is taken as a test-case and shows the optimized result with 5 iterations in the APSO and 28 iterations in th PSO.

본 논문에서는 Dual Band Microstrip Patch 안테나를 제작하였다. 성능 측정을 위해서 슬릿의 위치에 따른 특성을 Ansoft사의 HFSS를 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였고, 이를 바탕으로 GSM과 DCS 주파수 대역을 동시에 만족 시키는 원형 패치 안테나를 인셋(inset) 급전 방식을 이용하여 원하는 중심 주파수에서 공진이 일어나도록 설계 하였다. 그 결과 슬릿과 패치의 간격이 0.5mm, 슬릿의 폭은 1mm, 각도는 $98^{\circ}$일 때 가장 좋은 특성과 각각의 중심주파수에서 $S_{11}$이 -6.85dB, -9.691dB인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, newly proposed dual-band microstrip antennas using stacked inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements are presented for GPS $L_1(1.575GHz)$ and $L_2(1.227GHz)$ bands. For making dual band which has large interval, ${\lambda}/4$($L_1$ band) inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements were stacked at both side of radiation apertures on the half-wavelength($L_2$ band) patch antennas. The resonance in the parasitic elements occurs through coupling to the patch. Next, due to using circular polarization at GPS, ${\lambda}/4$($L_1$ band) inverted-L-shaped parasitic elements was stacked using sequential rotation technique on the patch and both side of the diagonal corners of the antenna were eliminated to make dual-band circular polarization. The designed circular polarized antenna's dimensions are $0.43{\lambda}L{\times}0.43{\lambda}L{\times}0.06{\lambda}L$ (${\lambda}L$ is the free-space wavelength at 1.227 GHz). Measured -10 dB bandwidths was 120 MHz(7.6%) and 82.5 MHz(6.7%) at GPS $L_1$ and $L_2$ bands. and 3 dB axial ration bandwidths are 172 MHz(10.9%) and 25 MHz(2.03%), respectively. All of these cover the respective required system bandwidths. Within each of the designed bands, broadside radiation patterns were observed.

In this paper, the ultra-widebend, microstrip patch antenna with the bandwidth of 3 GHz was implemented for ultra-wideband(UWB) wireless communication applications. In order to cover the very wide bandwidth of 3 GHz, a multi-resonance antenna was designed, each resonance frequency was separated into five frequency bend, 7.5, 8.1, 8.7, 9.3, and 9.9GHz with the interval of 600MHz BW. And for wideband characteristics of each antenna, U-slot antennas were designed at each center frequency. Designed five U-slot antennas were connected in series for multi-resonance of 3GHz BW and wideband matching was also designed for impedance matching transmission line calculated. The relative dielectric constant, the height, the loss tangent of the PCB substrate were ${\epsilon}_r=4.8,\;h=0.6$ and loss tangent=0.0009 respectively. The implemented antenna's radiation patterns and gain were directivity characteristics and $1.46{\sim}4.08dBi$ at the five separated center frequency.

In this paper, a synthesis technique for nonuniform filtering structures to be employed in active integrated antenna layouts is presented. The idea is to suppress the higher harmonic contribution due to the presence of nonlinear components through a nonuniform transmission line properly designed via Orlov's synthesis formula. The theory presented is applied here to synthesize an amplifier-based active antenna layout for wireless local area network (WLAN) purposes working at 2.4 GHz. The numerical results presented show the capabilities of the proposed approach.

Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator antennas with scan capabilities are described in this paper. The proposed antennas, excited by a thinned array, not only achieve higher directivities but also improve suppression of sidelobes relative to that of the thin array alone. Compared to the conventional microstrip patch array, the directivity enhancement and suppression of sidelobe level were achieved by increase of the aperture size of the proposed Fabry-Perot resonator antenna.

An antenna arrays for a satellite navigation systems require more antenna elements to mitigate multiple jamming signals. In order to maintain the small array size while increasing the number of antenna elements, miniaturization technique is essential for antenna design. In this work, an electrically small circular microstrip patch antenna with a 3 dB hybrid coupler is designed as an element antenna, where the 3 dB hybrid coupler can yield the circularly polarized radiation characteristic. The miniaturized element antenna typically has too large capacitance in GPS L1 and GLONASS G1 bands, making it difficult to match with a single stand-alone non-Foster matching circuit (NFMC) in a stable state. Therefore, we propose a new matching technique, referred to as the hybrid matching method, which consists of a NFMC and a passive circuit. This passive tuning circuit manages reactance of antenna elements at an appropriate capacitance without a pole in the operating frequency range. The antenna array is fabricated, and the measured results show a reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB and an isolation of greater than 50 dB. In addition, peak gain of the proposed antenna is increased by 22.3 dB compared to the antenna without the hybrid matching network.

The full wave method requires a great number of computer memory and lasting long CPU time for the calculation of the discontinuity problems in microstrip structures. While the computation only for the transverse field components at those structures causes the both of time and memory reduction. For the case of the calculating only transverse components for the most of microstrip structures such as low-pass filter, branch coupler and patch antenna the computer memory and running time can be reduced to about 50% and 33%, comparing to the full wave computation. Consequently, the proposed method than that of TEM-mode has an advantages of higher speed and less memory than that of conventional FDTD analysis.
